Anybody Here Use a Machete in Gardening?

10. my bamboo is marching under the power line

which flips out the PSEG, so I was hoping to use it on that, too.

Plus it is now marching up the hill and it looks like I'm being invaded.

For decades this stuff has minded itself, never getting too invasive. Last spring, however, the PSEG decided they wanted it out of the way of the power line so they send in a horde of workers to clear it out. I think it invoked the bamboo's survival instincts and it wants to find "another planet," kind of like we do.

So if you can cut prickly pear cactus, it should be good for young bamboo.
